Finally Trend/Trade 27 came to an end.

I had to be patient for this one as it lasted more than 2 weeks but the rewards are there, +148 pips and +39% growth in balance !

I could have closed the trade earlier and at a better price but I wanted a clear break of the trend which came now and also very near of a SMA cross which should be the second confirmation signal for a direction change and for the new trade 28.

Finally short again with I think this time a valid close far enough (~ 5pips) from the SMA with this new entry which is 3 pips below the original one.
Let's see if this one survives. I see now the importance of my first sell signal which was at 1,1878, lesson for next time...

but I don't know why newly versions (8) of indicators don't work in my mt4 (build 1340)

old versions work fine e.g (V.4)

I think that question was answered in the past posts but don't remember exactly when.
And sorry, I'm not giving more support for MT4 as I use TV for my trading.

Thanks but to be honest I'm half happy of this one...

True that my equity is at a new high so that's definitely positive if we say that the result is what counts at the end...
But I over traded a bit on this one with higher risk even if I had my hand on it all the time...

And all of this was because of my original mistake of exiting too early the original trade.

So you see, it's still a work in progress...

Just took a loss on trade 29 as the trend turned south, and a small profit on 30.
I'm on the sidelines now waiting for an entry level.

I Will try trading the swings within the trends so next trade could very well be a long even in the main signal is indicating a short for now !

Just entered in the direction of the new Swing.
I even had a better signal at 1.1689 (red line) but was asleep at that time, let's see what this one gives...

Another one that is lasting an entire month !

I'm still wondering why I exited so early with 16 pips while the whole setup was still valid and it still is !
Even the two small contrarian signals couldn't invalidate it !

The right execution in purple would yield now 280+ pips !!!

Something to think about and to learn for the the next trades,,, Patience,,, sit on my hands as long as the trend is valid!

The positive note is that I finish the month positive with a tiny 1.3%

I'm back to basics and will try to not deviate from them till the end of the year !!!

Entered new long trade in anticipation of trend 29 after H1 close beyond the last H1 stop downtrend.
It still needs a close beyond SMA and SMA color change for trend change confirmation.

As long as the system is, I'm still making too many mistakes that should be avoided.

1. Trade 28 (blue) closed too early => +16.6 pips instead of +239.9, 223 pips lost !
2. Trade 29 (green) closed too late => -59.8 pips instead of -43.5, 16.3 pips lost !

With new clearly identified swings violations, the trades should have been executed as per the violet lines so I expect to avoid those mistakes in the future.
